python available on linux or macos.

Yes and...? Neither Linux (normally) or MacOS an RTOS, what would he gain by switching to them?

In the case of Linux you could entirely eliminate almost everything else using CPU time such as window management in a way not really practical for Windows.

There'd be some advantage if:

* you have Linux Kinix Python libs and drivers.

* You can use a very minimal Linux distro that starts little to nothing else up

It'd probably be better than running on Windows, but still not as nice as running real time, or close to real time (e.g. having a small C, Go or Rust program that runs on a custom Linux image where it runs as init)
